Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Another L$1 Male Head from Akeruka!

Akeruka has, as expected, followed up their anniversary group gift of the W21 women’s mesh head with a similarly fabulous offering for the gentlemen! The M09 male mesh head is available from now until July 15th, 2021 at the Akeruka main store (SLURL):

Remember that you’ll have to join the [AK} Heads News & Support group for L$150 to obtain this group gift; just pay the vendor a single Linden dollar and the M09 head is yours!

This head does not come with any skin, so I paired it the dollarbie Meshbody Classic male mesh body, and applied a couple of Bakes on Mesh skins I had in my inventory.

The first skin is the pale Delphinus skin from Altamura (adding the high-definition eyebrows from the HUD for the head):

For a darker tone of skin, I chose a free BoM tanned skin I picked up from BROX:

I’m quite pleased with this second look! This is a very handsome Bento, Bakes on Mesh male head, and I’m certain you will be quite happy with it as well.

Remember, it’s only available until July 15th, 2021, and then it’s gone. Happy freebie shopping!

Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Another L$1 Female Head from Akeruka!

Akeruka has been giving away freebie or dollarbie Bento mesh heads (both male and female models) twice a year for the past few years. (In fact, if you had joined the [AK] Heads News & Support group for L$150 three years ago, you would have picked up no less than ten male and female fully-featured, fully-adjustable Bento mesh heads by now—which works out to only L$15 per head! Exceptional bargain.)

Well, Akeruka has announced yet another dollarbie Bento, Bakes on Mesh-compatible head as a group gift. Just teleport to the Akeruka store (here’s the SLURL), and pay one of the array of vendor panels one Linden dollar, and the W21 gift head is yours!

Here is what the W21 head looks like, with the included eyes, paired with the Kalhene Anya body and using one of the Bakes on Mesh skins in the Kalhene package (the Akeruka W21 head does not come with any skin):

The included HUD has a great many options, including the ability to set a range of full-face motion-capture animations (you can select more than one at a time):

This is a truly beautiful, fully-featured Bento, Bakes on Mesh head at a stellar price: L$1 if you are already a member of the Akeruka [AK} Heads News & Support group, and L$151 if you aren’t (the group costs only L$150 to join). The W21 head is only available until June 30th, 2021, so don’t delay!

UPDATED! Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Four L$1 Bento, Bakes on Mesh Male Heads from Ca’lum

Ca’lum (creator of the Viktor head which I had reviewed previously on this blog) has released three editions of its new version 2.0 Bento, Bakes-on-Mesh-compatible male heads:

Straight Nose (SL Marketplace Listing)

Upturned Nose (SL Marketplace Listing)

Roman Nose (SL Marketplace Listing)

Here’s what the upturned nose version of the head looks like with a Bakes on Mesh skin from my inventory, along with some freebie mesh eyes from ARTE (the mesh eyes that come with the package wouldn’t work for me). The ears and teeth are separate attachments, and the ears are adjustable. Each head comes with 4 different eyelash tattoo layers.

All in all, these are quite handsome heads, and you certainly cannot beat the price: only one Linden dollar each! So if you are in the market for an inexpensive male mesh head, one of these three models may well fit the bill.

UPDATE May 26th, 2021: Miserage reminded me that there are, in fact, four dollarbie heads from Ca’lum! I forgot to mention the Aquiline Nose head, which you can check out on the SL Marketplace. It is also only L$1! Thanks, Miserage!
